and utt er darkness was about to he added to the horrors which were now beginning to chill the hopes with which these poor souls had entered on their dire probation. Hope took the alarm, seized the expiring lamp, trimmed it, and carried it down the one passage that was open. This time lie did not confine his researches to the part where he could stand upright, but went on his hands and knees down the newest working. At the end of it lie gave a shout of triumph, and in a few minutes returned to his daughter, exhausted, and blackened all over with coal; but the lamp was now burning brightly in his hand, and round his neekwas tied ucan of oil. “Oh. my poor father.” said Grace, “is that all you have discovered! 1 ” "Thank God for it,” said Hope. “You little know what it would be to pass two more days here without light, as well as without food."

Hurnley, however, in point of fact, kept more and more aloof for many hours; he never left his work till he laid hare the whole body of that miner, and found a pickaxe in his dead hand. This lie hid, and reserved it for deadly uses; lie was not clear in his mind whether to brain Hope with it, and so be revenged on him for having shut him up in that mine, or whether to peck a hole in the

tank and destroy all three by a quicker death than thirst or starvation. The

The next day was terrible. The violent pangs of hunger began to gnaw like vultures, and the thirst was still more intolerable; the pangs of hung, r intermitted for hours at a time, and then returned. to intermit again; they exhausted but did not infuriate; but the rage of thirst became incessant and maddening, lien Ihtrnley suffered the most from this, and the wretch came to Hope for consolation. “Where’s the sense of hiding here.” said he. “to be burned to deeth \\i‘ drought? Let’s Hood the mine, and drink or he drooned." "How can 1 flood the mineV” said Hope. “You know itest. maister.” said the man. “Why, liow many tons of water did ve draw from yon tank every dayy” “We conduct about live tons into a pit, and we send about live tons up to the surface daily.” “Then how much water will there be in the tank nowy” Hope looked at his watch and said “There was a good deal of water in the tank when you blew up the mine; there miwt he about thirty tons in it now.” "Well, then,” said Burnley, “you that knows everything, help mi-burst the wall o’ tank; it's thin enow.” Hope reflected. "ll we let in the whole body of water,” said he. “it would shatter us to pieces, and crush us against the wall of our prison, and drown us before it ran away through the obstructed passages into the new workings. Fortunately, we have no pickaxe, and cannot he tempted to self-slaughter." This silenced Burnley, for the day, and he remained sullenly ai,art;still.the idea never left his mind. The next day. toward evening, he asked Hope to light his own lamp, and come and look at the wall of the tank. “Xot without me.” whispered Grace. “1 see him cast looks of hatred at you. They went together, and Burnley bade Hope observe that the water was trickling through in places, a dropat a time; it could not penetrate the coaly veins, nor the streaks of clay, hut it oozed through the porous strata,certninstrips of blackish earth in particular, and it trickled down, a drop at a time. Hope looked at this feature with anxiety, for he was a man of science, and knew by the fate of hanked reservoirs, great and small, the strange explosive power of a little water driven through strata by a great body pressing behind it. “You’ll see. it will burst itsen," said Burnley exultantly, “and the sooner the better for me; for I'll never get alive out on t’ mine; vow 1,lowed me to the uieii, and they'll break every hone in mv skin.” Hope did not answer this directly. “There, don’t go to meet trouble, mv mail,” said he. “Give me the can. Grace. Now. Burnley, hold this can, and catch svery drop till it is full.”

savage had another and more horrible reason for keeping out of sight; maddened by thirst he had resource to that last extremity better men have been driven to; he made a cut with his claspknife in the breast of the dead miner, and tried to swallow jellied blood. This horrible relief never lasts long, and the penalty follows in a few hours, but in the meantime the savage obtained relief, and even vigor, from this ghastly source, and seeing Hope and ids daughter lying comparatively weak and exhausted, he came and sat down at a little distance infront of themdhat was partly done to divert Hope from

eft at tlrsl to ring from Leaven. ITS stood sti'.i, and trembled like a leaf; he listened; the sound was not repeated. “Ah,” said he, "it was an illusion, like

hers.”

But for all that he seizedhishammer, and darted to the back of the hall.mounting on a huge fragment of coal, struck the seam high above his head. He gave two blows at longish intervals, and then three blows in quick succession. Grace heard, and began to raise ber

self on her hands in wonder.

Outside the wall came two leisurely blows that seemed a mile off, thougii they were not ten feet, and then three

blows in quick succession.

“My signal echoed,” yelled Hope. “Ho you hear, child, my signal answerefly Thank God! thank God! thank God!" He fell on his knees and cried like a child. The next minute, burning with hope and joy, he washy Grace’s side,

with ids arms round her.

“Y on can't give way now. Fight on a few minutes more. Death. I defy you; I am a father; I tear my child from your clutches.” With this lie raised ber In iris arms with surprising vigor. It was Grace’s turn to shake off all weakness. under the great excitement of the

brain.

“Yes. I'll live.” she cried, “I’ll live for you. Oh, the gallant men! Hear, hear pickaxes at work; an army is corning to our rescue, father; the God you doubted sends them, and some hero leads

them.”

The words had scarcely left tier lips when Hope set herdownin freshalarm.

“Maister.” said he, “how long havewe

“Six days and more,” said Hope. “Six days,” said Grace, faintly, for her powers were now quite exhausted—“and no signs of help, no hope of rescue.” Do not ray so. Grace. Ilescue in time is certain, and, therefore, while

we live there is hope.’

'Ay,” said Burnley, “for you tew. but d for me. Yow tclt the’men that 1

But for yow I should have been away six days agone.” “Man,” said Hope, “cannot you sec that my hand was hut tin* instrument? It was the hand of heaven that kept you hack. Cease to blame your victims.and begin to see tilings as they are, and to repent. Even if von escape, could the white faces ever fade from your sight, or the dying shrieks ever leave your ear, of the brave men you so foully murdered? Repent, monster, repent!” Burnley was not touched, but he was scared by Hope’s solemnity, and went to his own corner muttering, and as he crouched there there came over his dull brain what in due course follows the horrible meal he had made—a feverish frenzy. In the meantime Grace, who had been lying half insensible, raised her head slowly and said, in a low voice, “Water, water!” “Oh, my girl,” said Hope, In despair, “I'll go and get enough to moisten your lips; but the last serapof food lias gone, the last drop of oil is burnbig away, and in an hour we shall be in darkness and despair.” “No. no, father,” said Grace, “not while there is water there, beautiful water.” “But you cannot drink f/iat unfiltered; it is foul, it is poisonous.” “Not that, papa, said Grace, “far beyond tliat—look! See that clear river sparkling in the sunlight;howbright and beautiful it shines! Look at the waving trees upon the other side, the green meadows and the bright blue sky, and there—there—there—are the great white swans. No, no; I forgot; they are not swans; they are ships sailing to the bright land you told me of. where there is no suffering and no sorrow.” Then Hope, to his horror, began to see that this must he the very hallucination of which he had read, a sweet illusion of green fields and crystal water, which often precedes actual death by thirst and starvation. He trembled, he

was at work to de-

stroy them; Burnley was picking furiously at the weak part of the tank, shrieking, “They will tear me to pieces; thereisno hopein this worldor the

next for me.”

“Madman,” cried Hope—“he’ll let the water in before they can save us.” He rushed at Burnley and seized him; hut his frenzy was gone, and Burnley's was upon hini; after a short struggle Burnley Hung him off witli prodigious power. Hope flew at him again, hut incau tiously, and the savage, lowering his head, drove it with such fury into Hope’s chest that he sent him to a distance. and laid him flat on his back, utterly breathless. Grace flew to him and

raised him.

He was not a man to lose his wits. “To the truck,” he gasped, “or we are

lost.”

“I'll flood the mine! I'll flood the

mine!” yelled Burnley.

Hope made his daughter mount a large fragment of coal we have already mentioned, and from that she sprang to the truck, and with lier excitement and with her athletic power sin- raised herself into the full truck,and even helped her father in after her. But just as she got him on to the truck, and while he was still only on his knees, that section of the wall we have called the tank rent and gaped under Burnley’s pickaxe, and presently exploded about six feet from the ground, and a huge volume of water drove masses of earth and coal before it, and came roaring like a solid body straight at the coal truck, and drove it against the opposite wall, smashed ttie nearest side in, and would have thrown Grace off it like a feather, but Hope, kneeling and clinging to the side, held

her like a vise.

Grace screamed violently. Immediately there was a roar of exultation outside from the hitherto silent workers; for that scream told that the wonwn was alive too; the wife of the brave fel low who bad won all their beam and

Hope sat upon a great lump or coal, ids daughter kneeled in front of him, gazing at him with love, confidence, reverence; and Burnley kneeled in front of him too, but at a greater distance, with wolfish eyes full of thirst and nothing else. \t hist the little can was two-thirds full of clear water. Hope took the large iron spoon which he had found along with tne tea, and gave a full spoonful to his daughter. ‘My child,” said lie. “let it trickle very slowly over your tongue and down your throat; it is the throat and the adjacent organs which suffer most from thirst.” He then took a spoonful himself, not to drink after an assassin. He then gave a spoonful to Bumiev, with the same instructions, and rose from Ids seat and gave the can to Grace, ami said, “the rest of tins pittance must not be touched for six hours at least.” Burnley, instead of complying with the wise advice given him, tossed the liquid down his throat with a gesture, and then dashing down the spoon., said, “I’ll have the rest on’t if I trie for it," and made a furious rnshatGraee Hope. She screamed faintly, and Hope met him full in that incautious rush, and felled him like a log with a single blow. Burnley lay there with his heels tapping the grouiui for a little while, then he ot^y.his hands anil knees, and crawled the farthest corner of his own brooding. ace retired to rest, ^‘ with ids Apt

By-and-by Grace spoke again.but this time her senses were dear. “How dark it's grown!" she said. “Ah, we're back again in that awful mine.” Then, witli the patient fortitude of a woman when once she thinks the will of ttie Almighty is declared, site laid her hand upon his shoulder, and she said, soothingly, “Dear father, bow to Heaven's will’;" then she held up both her feeble arms to him—“Kiss me, father—/or »ce ure to

“this thing cannot be; they have had

melted away the icy barrier of class. Three gigantic wiives struck the truck

and made it quiver.

The first came half-way up; the second came full two-thirds; the tnird dashed the senseless body of Ben Burnley, with bleeding head and broken bones.against tlie v ery edge of tin* truck, then surged back with him into a whirling vortex. Grace screamed continuously; gave herself up now for lost; and the[ louder she screamed, the louder and the nearer the saving party shouted and

hurrahed.

“No, do not fear,” cried Hope; “you shall not die. Love is stronger than

death."

The words were scarce out of his mouth when the point of a steel pick came clean through the stuff; another followed above it; then another, then another, and then another. Holes were made, then gaps, then larger gaps; then a mass of coal fell in; furious picks—a portion of the mine knocked away— and there stood, in a red blaze of lamps held up.the gallant hand, roaring,shouting, working, led by a stalwart giant with hare arms, begrimed and bleeding, face smoked, hair and eyebrows black with coal-dust, and eyes’ flaming like red coals. He sprang with one fearless bound down to the coal-truck, and caught up his wife in his arms, and held her to Ills panting bosom.

Doetorlaariiei' began his treatment in tlie very break. The first -pnonfn] of iggfcmd brandy told upon Grace Hope. Her deportment had been iirange. She had seemed confused at times, and now and then she would cast i look of inliniie tenderness upon Walter. and then again she would knit her brow and seem utterlv puzzled. Hut now she gave Walter a look that brought him nearer In her. and she said, with a heavenly smile. “You love me best; better than the other.” Then she began to cry over her father. "Better than the other!” said Walter, aloud. “What other?” “Be quiet.” said the doctor. “Do you really think her stomach can he empty for six day s. and her head he none the worse? Gome, mv dear, another spoonful. Good girl! Now let me look at

yon. Mr. Walter.”

“Why, what is the matter with him!" said the Colonel. "I never saw him look

better in all my life.”

“Indeed! Red spots on his cheekbones, ditto on his temples, and his

eyes glaring.”

“Excitement and happiness,”said Wal-

ter.

The doctor took no notice of him. “He has been outraging nature.” said he, “and she will have her revenge. We sre not out of the wood yet. Colonel Cl ifford, and you had better put them all three under my command.” “I do, my good friend; I do,” said Colonel Clifford, eagerly. “It is your department, and I don’t believe in two commanders." They drew up at the great door of Clifford Hall, it seemed to open of itself, and there were all the servants drawn up in two lines. They all showed eager sympathy, but only John Baker and Mrs! Milton ventured to express it. “God bless you all!” said Colonel Clifford. “But it’ is our turn now. They are all in the doctor's hands. My whole household, obey him to the letter, ll is mv order. Doctor Garner, this is Mrs. Milton, my housekeeper. You will find her a good lieu-

tenant.”

“Mrs. Milton,” said the doctor,sliarply, "warm baths in three rooms, and to bed with this lot. Carrv Mr. Hope up; he is my first patient, bring me eggs, milk, brandy, new port-wine. Cook!”

“Sir?”

“Hammer three chickens to pieces with your rollingpin. then mince them; then chuck them into a big pot with cold water, stew them an hour, and then boil them to a jelly, strain and serve. Meantime, send up three sbees of mutton half raw: we will do a little chewing, not much.” The patients submitted like lambs, only Walter grumbled a little, hut at last confessed to a headache and sud-

den weariness.

Julia Clifford took special charge of Grace Hope, the doctor of William Hope, and Colonel Clifford sat by Walter. congratulating, soothing, and encouraging him, until he began to doze. Doctor Garner’s estimate of his patients proved correct The next day Walter was in a raging fever; Hope remained in a pitiable state of weakness; and Grace, who in theory was the weaker vessel, began to ass:sl Julia in nursing them both. To be sure, she was all whip-cord and steel beneath her delicate skin, iind had always been active and , i temperate. And then she was much T'L the youngest, and the constitutions of such women are anything but weak. Still, it was a most elastic recovery

from a great shock.

But the more her body recovered its strength, and tier brain its clearness, the more was her mind agitated anddis-

tressed.

Her first horrible anxiety was for Walter's life. The doctor showed no fear, but that might be his way. It was a raging fever, with all the

varieties that make fever terrible to be-

hold. He was never left without two

attendants; and as Hope was in no danger now, though pitiably weak and

slowly convalescent. Grace was often

one of Walter's nurses. So was Julia

Clifford, lie sometimes recognized

them for a little while, and tilled their

loving hearts with hope. But tlie next

moment he was off into tlie world of

illusions, and sometimes could not sen
